Coming back almost straight from Puerto Rico seminary, it was really natural to catch a lot of similarities between S.Juan and Lisbon. Both cities so colourful, so slow and amazingly submerged by the sun.

I met there my friend Paky, Marisa and Nuno. Paky plays live video in our audiovisual performance Too Many Pests and Marisa and Nuno are working with live visual too under the name Uninvited Screw Vjs – http://www.myspace.com/uninvitedscrewvjs.
Didn’t have so much time to visit the city, on the 10th we had our first show at O Seculo for the last take of InterAcção, monthly review about audiovisual live performance organized by the super kind and energyful Elsa Vieira – Roguewaves.net.

O Seculo is a cool location situated near the Bairro Alto in Lisbon. The place is set up with 7 projectors, nice sound system and a familiar atmosphere: chairs, tables and sofa.
Few people there watching our show, but good and relaxed atmosphere. In the end talking with Paky we recognized that was probably the best performance we made with TMP project.
I will always remember the ugly climb coming back from O Seculo with all the hardware, believe me!

The day after we had the second show at Crew Hassan, great squatt-cooperativa cultural in the center of Lisbon. The place looks like a big house set up with bar, sofas all around, a room for live show and dj/vj sets, chill out room and many funny people & objects. After an interesting conference about architecture and society we played again Too Many Pests. Set up on the floor, big projection in front of us and more people interested in the work.

They told me that the show was catching their attention because of the cool union between my aggressive electronic tunes and the massive antisocial video flow of Mr. Paki.
Nice to know… After the performance we finally had great times all toghether with Uninvited Screw Vjs playing live video jam session on two projectors giving body to the funky selection of Dj Sly.

The last two days were the most relaxing. Hanging around the city, eating well, going to clubs. Well done!
My last cool memories are about this wonderful terrace which overtop the city of Lisbon. An amazing open view of the buildings and the estuario… check this and imagine a super strong wind blowing in your hairs… amazing.
